Rock That Dress Challenge! (Closed Group)

Hey Ladies!

Today was so-so. I stayed within my calorie goal, but went over 2 on fat and almost 200 for sodium. I forgot to take ground turkey down for dinner before I left to do last minute school shopping and had my DH pick up Popeye's for dinner. I'm sad because it usually tastes so good, but I was just thinking how I should have made better food choices than that and didn't really enjoy it. That has to be progress, right?! :laugh:

I burned 230 calories today walking/jogging while my oldest rode his bike for 37 minutes. It was a nice little change of pace from doing my Jillian workouts and it was great to spend some extra time with my big boy. (He starts 1st grade tomorrow and we had to get rid of some jitters.)

Tomorrow was supposed to be a rest day, but I think today was so I'm going to do whatever is scheduled for my 30 Day Slimdown. For the challenge, I think I'm going to try to add 30min of elliptical to my daily workouts.

Hope you guys are all doing well!

Having an emotional day...my sisters dog died (I know it sounds pathetic but he was just amazing and such a part of the family he came into our lives when i was having a particularly difficult time and its just heartbreaking) and my physical therapist implied strongly i have serious permanent damage to my knee...so i got into serious work out mode

Today I did-
500 crunches
200 leg lifts
200 push ups
100 chair presses
and walked 4 miles...debating a 5th...

all in all i burned 683 cals

I've had some trouble eating today with all the crap news but will be having a nice big healthy dinner. Hubs is flying so i might crank out some more crunches as well before he gets home. Old Jane would have ate away her sorrows new Jane clearly has a work out addiction...all in all i call it a win...minus the crap news

Sorry about the dog
Way to work it out anyway & stay strong! My workout feels wimpy after reading all your reps!

Had an ok day, burned about 400 calories dancing in my house while doing some cleaning, didn't make it to the gym after work like I wanted (I get off work at 9 and it closes at 10). Stayed under my calories and drank a bunch of water :-) Hoping for a better day tomorrow

A neighbor of mine told me that if you start getting involved in doing local 5K events that you kind of get 'addicted' to doing them and that it's a good way to continue to strive to maintain exercising. Not sure but I've been thinking about doing one to see what I think. I found this one locally, coming up next month. I like the idea of family friendly.

Today I burned about 750 cals....i need to get a hrm to know better! I feel like i burnt more!!! anyway heres what I did today!

400 crunches (gonna try to crank out another 100 before going to deadly game night)
200 leg lifts
200 chair presses
200 push ups
200 toe touches
walked 4 miles (will get in another mile before the end of the night

I'm under on my cals thus far but have Game night with the girls which always proves difficult. I just wish theyd all join me here on MFP...we could all use it plus they keep saying how they need to lose weight!

Today has been productive all the way around. All our laundry is done, kitchen is spotless, i've worked out tons, AND most importantly husband is cranking out another flight! He's got a couple more scheduled this week so if thats the case we're out of phase two of training and quicky phase three is next! with ALS right after he finishes training I have a sneaky feeling we will be PCSing by the end of the year and not Feb like we thought originally! Now if theyd only give us our orders so i know where we're moving!

Doing a lot better on the dog front, talked to my sister she's not so hot. We're getting a portrait done for her of Jack...and i realize how crazy i sound lol but he was a freakin great dog! just a small one...an 8x10 so im just 8x10 crazy. we're also making a headstone for him for up at the cabin where he passed and was buried. I feel like i've gotten so much taken care of today...now if i could kick this Cheetos cravng

Didn't get a chance to get back on the computer last night...I'm with Lis, wishing I could do it from my phone would make it a whole lot easier.

Yesterday was technically supposed to be my rest day, but had a rough afternoon and decided I NEEDED my walk last night! I burned 516 calories during my 65 minute walk. I also drank 10 glasses of water. Looking forward to today and actually getting to do a workout DVD and still go for my evening walk as well. HAVE A GREAT DAY EVERYBODY!

Good thing I worked out on my rest day yesterday because I didn't get in any today. One of my sons started coming down with something yesterday and I think I woke up with it this morning. I drank 10 glasses of water and am hopeful to get a work out in tomorrow. )

Hello gals! I took a rest day yesterday due to an overloaded schedule and a rest day today because I'm PMS'ing and I have a migraine. Working out was pretty much not going to happen. HOWEVER, tomorrow I will be back at it. I ate like junk yesterday but am back on track with some advice from my doctor today. I was telling her about my last three months and how I've lost like 2 lbs and maybe an inch or two and how I feel like it's just not working. She wants me to try to have dinner for breakfast, lunch is lunch, and dinner is to be a salad with fruit and nuts or vegetables and a fruit. I'm to eat like this for the next 21 days to help restart my metabolism. She thinks I may have stalled myself out because *wait for it* I wasn't eating enough to support the exercise I've been doing. So, no deli meat for lunch, low sodium foods, with an emphasis on protein and healthy fats and on workout days I need to eat at least 1800 calories, for the next 21 days to see if that helps. I knew all this going into it but have really not been watching my diet as well as I could have. Kept thinking I could just work out like a fiend and eat whatever I wanted as long as I watched the calories. Well, that's not working...so I'll be trying this out for the next couple of weeks to see. Wish me luck, eating that chicken breast this morning was beyond bizarre! LOL!

I burned 286 calories walking this morning. I have so far this week walked 8 miles... wow never thought that would happen! But I feel great stayed within my calories. Since this is all women I think I can confess... I am late and might be pregnant. I keep peeing on sticks but they all say negative. I kind of hope I am, but am nervous because of how my last pregnancy/birth went. I hope I figure this out within the week to ensure the workouts and eating I am doing is healthy if I am, and if I am not then I can keep going.

Today I went for a 33 minute run and burned 314 calories.

Hallo ladies,

Yesterday I did JM30DS L2 D7 and Cathe Friedrich's Circuit Bast "cardio only" plus 20 min Heavy Bag workouts. Not sure, what I will do today?

Have a wonderful workouts, ladies!

didn't get a chance to post last night. Did great on my calorie intake and burned about 550 doing a 35 minute circuit and 30 minutes of pilates. :-) Planning to do more pilates today and hitting the gym later for my 2nd day of C25K Still need to up my water consumption though :-(

Have a great day everyone! get out there and BURN! BURN! BURN!

My plan was to have a rest day, but it was such a beautiful day I had to get outside, so I went for a half hour walk.

Yay! I'm down 2 lbs! I'll take measurements next week. I know it's silly but after not seeing the scale move but like 2 lbs in 2 months, I feel like I'm finally seeing some forward movement!
